[1.7.10] Breaking placed blocks after a set duration.

[Fearzu]

Does anyone know where I could find, or does anyone have a code snippet with an example of how to automatically break/destroy a placed block after a set duration? Essentially, I am designing a mod that allows the player to place totems nearby for status effects similar to a beacon - but the totems should self destroy after say, 30 seconds.

 

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

You need to use TileEntity and decrement timer, then do world.setBlock to air.

Would you be able to put it into an example for me? I have googled both of these methods but came up empty.

Great - that makes sense.

 

Thanks
